**THE ROLE**
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.
The Photonic Nanomaterials Research Unit is coordinated by Francesco Di Stasio. The research focuses on the development of light sources employing nanomaterials such as colloidal nanocrystals.
This includes the study of single-photon emission properties of a variety of colloidal quantum dots and in particular InAs ones, in order to correlate synthetic and structural parameters to emission characteristics.
Within the research team, your main responsibilities will be:
- carry out spectroscopy studies of colloidal quantum dots presenting emission in the visible (400 - 700 nm) and near-infrared spectrum (700 - 1550 nm)
- support peers in the optical characterization of other nanomaterials
- support the supervision of PhD students
**ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS**
- A PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or related fields
- Documented experience in performing single-photon studies on colloidal quantum dots and optical characterization
- Strong publication record
- Good command of spoken and written English
**ADDITIONAL SKILLS**
- Creativity and independent thinking
- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
- Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
- Possess Analytical Reasoning skills and a growth mindset
**COMPENSATION PACKAGE**
- A yearly gross salary ranging between 38000 and 40000 euros
- Private health care coverage depending on your role and contract
- Application's deadline: _December 1st, 2024_**Primary Location** GENOVA
